I've never had a fast car before, only driven a fast car once before (2007 Corvette) and never got a chance to get on it, never attempted anything of this magnitude before, and really not eager to f*** it all up. :D
dont' worry, you'll be fine.
I was shooting for 300-350 and only managed 252 on my first run. that power level was fine for me for awhile...an hour later i wanted more!!!

Most shops will not guarantee the install though and blame it on the kit, every time you bring your car in they will give you the run around and make the kit out to be the culprit. With Dezod, even if you don't get the kit directly from them, they will help you out with whatever you may need.

Hey! I'm no turbo newbie!

I had a turbo on a carburated engine before and had to do a bunch of pre-test and had to find I really small turbo to run a 3.7PSI wastegate (that's the max we could do on a 1.3L built carb engine) the reason why I ask alot here on SL is because I really don't know anything about the computer tuning and boost controls, my old turbo engine has every boost control mechanical.

235WHP at 4PSI is a nice number for the tC with OEM tires, It's safer on your engine too and get nicer 60ft times. (Or why not get the GReddy pretuned EM and get the free map for 260WHP, GReddy RS BOV and a Dezod harness kit, so you'll be safer than getting a tune that cost as much as a new EM!

How are you going to get 235whp on 4psi? Thats more than the S/C and about as much as a Stage 0 with 6psi I think.

I really don't understand half the stuff that you write.
Doesn't the greddy fuel managment option on the kit come with a harness?
And how do you figure that the base tune would be safer then a custom tune?
